YMMV / Hell Pie

Go To

  • Crosses the Line Twice: This game prides itself on crossing the line at every given opportunity for the sake of comedy as Nate is a demon who represents “bad taste”. The line crossing ranges from sentient nazi excrement to sacrificing uni-goats for power ups, and literally fighting the hand of god and having the fight end after one hit.
  • Nausea Fuel:
    • The game mostly runs on Toilet Humor, the premise being the you have to bake a pie using the most disgusting ingredients ever, including rotten eggs, erection pills, virgin's blood, a half-eaten pizza-man, God's q-tip and a used tampon. A used tampon lodged in the eye of a giant sentient turd no less.
    • The Munchers are a race of blob people who eat shit! It's on their hands and their mouths and their butts have big brown stains on them...
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • When you visit the sewers of Sashimi Bay, you find piles and piles of the butchered remains of the Munchers (some of those piles impaled on spikes), with some living munchers trapped in cages to be killed later; some say they're left in the cages so they will starve to death. Given the Turd Reich are literal nazi pieces of shit, we can only surmise all of the horrible tortures the Munchers suffer through.
    • The Slaugherhouse. A massive complex of cages of humans who have been captured, poked with needles and force-fed antibiotics until they are dropped onto a conveyor belt and killed, their meat served to the customers of Flavor Peaks.
    • Unigoats are a race of itty-bitty, one-horned goats that come in various pastel colors, bleat like baby sheep and are just the cutest things you've ever seen. Why are you collecting them? To sacrifice them for power-ups. The player is practically goaded into killing them with the push of a button, where Nate then viscerally rips the horns off of their fragile little heads, and you watch him do this to all of them.
  • Quirky Work: The game has piles of minced people laying around, the world is populated by humanoid bugs, slugs, shit-eating blob-people, tribal snarf-ewok hybrids, phallic and yonic Planimals, a whale explodes from the inside out, a food critic explodes from gourmet food that comes out of a pipe, no Wi-Fi can cause buildings to turn into The Backrooms, the moon has a face, and feces can come to life as Nazis. Just go with it.
  • Spiritual Successor:
    • To Conker's Bad Fur Day, a similarly crass and vulgar 3D Platformer.
    • To Whiplash, another Black Comedy 3D Platformer starring two characters chained together where one uses the other as a makeshift weapon/swiss-army knife.
  • Ugly Cute:
    • Nate is basically a bright-red hybrid of King Clawthorne and a chihuahua.
    • Invoked with Nugget. He's a bulbously fat flying naked baby with big expressive eyes. When you actually meet him however, we get a close-up shot of him so that we can see his crust-covered, bloodshot eyes, wrinkly lips, zits on his face, visible veins and no nose.
